ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

I believe that it is every person’s birthright to live a life full of meaning, joy and fulfillment.

My counseling practice is informed by Hakomi and its principles of mindfulness, unity, body-mind connection, non-violence and organicity. Hakomi has been described as "assisted self-study". It is an experiential type of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to enter into mindfulness to help access present moment experiences, which leads to insight, healing and integration. It is a way of cultivating conscious self-compassion and transforming patterns of perception and behavior that no longer serve.

Other models which inform my counseling approach include person-centered, humanistic, brainspotting, strengths-based, trauma informed, depth psychology and cognitive behavioral. We will work collaboratively to determine the therapeutic approach that best suits your needs and preferences.

With more than eight years in the mental health field, I am an experienced individual and couples therapist. My work is inspired by each person's unique potential for wholeness. I particularly enjoy working with clients on issues of gender, sexuality, relationships, intimacy, spirituality, wellness and authenticity. I am LGBTQIAK+ friendly & aware. My other areas of competence include anxiety, depression, grief, and adjustment to life transitions. I look forward to assisting you on your personal journey of healing and self- discovery!
